The president said this in a documentary entitled “Buhari:
Beyond the Iron and Steel” aired on Nigerian Television Authority last
night by the Presidency.
Buhari also said the goodwill he enjoyed from the masses kept him in
politics. He added that his central objective was to provide
transparency and accountable government. “I pray five times a day
thanking God that allowed people to understand and believe me.
This goodwill that I enjoy from the masses is what is keeping me in
politics and of course, my central objective is to provide transparency
and accountable government,” he said.
Earlier in a Facebook post, presidential spokesman Mr Femi Adesina quoted some government officials as commenting on Buhari thus:
“He gives you things to do, and leaves you strictly to do those
things. No interference at all, once he has confidence in you. And he
cracks those jokes, and manages to still keep a straight face.” – Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo.
“He gave me some priority projects: Mokwa/Jebba road, Lagos/Ibadan
Expressway, and Second Niger Bridge…He never appends his signature to
anything, unless you’ve explained, and he understands it.” Mr Babatune
Raji Fashola, Minister of Power, Works and Housing.
“When we were in the opposition, you needed to see how we rolled on
the floor in his living room, as we laughed. Of course, we can’t do that
again now.” Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State governor.
“I wish I had his patience. He would listen to everybody, and then
take a decision. He is a reformed democrat.” Governor Ibikunle Amosun of
Ogun State.
“How I wish Nigerians know his softer and accommodating side. Very
jocular. But it is our duty to tell them.” Abike Dabiri, Senior Special
Assistant on Diaspora Matters.
